Nighthawk R7000 blue light not connecting to Wi-Fi

All of a sudden my R7000 has all blue lights and does not connect to the internet. Unfortunately I am not at the location where the router is located. Each morning I have it set, using a 24 hour time...

    Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update? A complete pull of the power adapters for a period of time after the factory reset then walk thru the setup wizard and setup from scratch.

Thanks. That is what I had to do. Then had to reconnect almost all smart devices. Some I had to just log into the network. Others I had to forget then reinstall. Don’t know why this happened. Hope it doesn’t do it again. If it does I think I’ll replace the router. Thanks everybody for all the assistance.
